Framed Florets Birthday Card

No Comments

I working on a card class with some of my workmates and one of them loves blue so I had to make a card with her colors and the Fitting Florets designer series paper from Stampin’ Up is perfect and so pretty.  Then the Fitting Florets stamps and dies add the perfect greetings and accents. 

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Night of Navy card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Balmy Blue card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Fitting Florets designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Framed Florets stamp set and dies (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Night of Navy ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Markers light and dark (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

With a piece of Night of Navy card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and old in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  From a piece of Balmy Blue cut to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”.  Take some white card stock and cut a piece for the inside of your card to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”.  Now from the Fitting Florets designer series paper pack find the Night of Navy piece with the Balmy Blue and Evergreen flowers, cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Adhere the Balmy Blue piece to the front of your card base and then the floral piece to the front of the Balmy Blue piece. 

From a spare piece of white card stock use the oval with the dashed boarder die and cut out.  Also with some scrap white card stock stamp two of the large single flowers and two of the small single flowers in Night of Navy ink.  Also stamp one of the larger flowers in the lower corner of the inside white piece for the inside of your card.  Use the Balmy Blue light to color in the small flower and the main portion of the large flower and then the dark balmy blue to color the tips and center of the large flower.  Use the dies to cut out he four single flowers, not the one on the inside piece.  Use the sprig leaf die to cut out a white and a Night of Navy one. 

Take the inside of the oval you cut and with Night of Navy ink stamp the “Wishes for a beautiful birthday” greeting in the upper center.  Stamp the “for a special person on a special day” greeting on the upper center of the white piece for the inside of your card.  Adhere the piece to the inside back of your card base.

Now let’s finish the front of the card, Adhere the oval frame to the center of your card and then adhere the greeting center into the center of the oval frame.  Adhere the white sprig off center to the navy spring and then adhere to the left edge of your oval frame.  The arrange the two large flowers and one of the smaller at the bottom of your oval and the fourth small flower to the top of your oval. 

What a pretty birthday card for anyone special to you that you want to let them know they are.

Framed Florets Stepper Card

No Comments

I was working on cleaning up my craft room and found a few cards that were cut but never put together.  This stepper card base was one of them, so I made this card which I am loving with this Fitting Florets designer series paper from Stampin’ Up.  I used the Framed Florets stamps with it.   

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Night of Navy card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Balmy Blue card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Fitting Florets designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Framed Florets stamp set and dies (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Night of Navy ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Moody Palate Glossy Dots (January 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Scoring board or scoring blade for trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

From a piece of Night of Navy card stock cut a piece to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 3 ¼”, 6 ½” and 7 ½” and fold the 3 ¼” to the 3 ¼” and then the 2” end up and then the last 1” down for form your step.  Cut another piece to 3” x 8 ½” and score at 4 ¼” and old in half.  Now take your Balmy Blue card stock and cut a piece to 3 1/8” x 5 3/8”, one to 2 7/8” x 4 1/8” and a third piece to 7/8” x 5 3/8”.  From your white card stock cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 4” and one to 2 7/8” x 5”.  With the Fitting Florets designer series paper find the Night of Navy piece with the Balmy Blue Flowers and cut a piece to 3” x 5 3/8”, one to 1 5/8” x 2 5/8” and a third piece to ¾” x 5 3/8”. 

Take your large piece of Balmy Blue and adhere to the front of your back step and then the larger floral piece to that.  Adhere the strip of Balmy Blue to the front of your small step and then the floral strip to that.  Now take your 3” folded piece of Night of Navy and adhere to the front of your small step, centered, and then adhere to the back of your large step.  Adhere the medium piece of Balmy Blue to the front of that. 

Take the small piece of white and adhere the small floral piece to the bottom portion of the white leaving a small edge around three sides.  Then stamp the “Wishes for a Beautiful Birthday” greeting from the Framed Florets stamp set in Night of Navy ink in the top portion.   Adhere this to the front of your Balmy Blue.  Add a few Moody Palate Glossy Dots around the white for decoration. 

Take your floral die from the Framed Florets and cut out two of the flowers from the designer series paper, or stamp two in Balmy Blue ink and cut them out.  Adhere to the lower left corner of your piece of white for the inside of your card.  Take the “For a special person on a special day” stamp and stamp in Night of Navy ink.  Adhere your white piece to the last piece of Balmy Blue and adhere that to the inside of your card.

What a lovely birthday card for anyone special in your life.

Framed Florets Bi-Fold Card

No Comments

This bi-fold card made with Fitting Florets designer series paper from Stampin’ Up turned out really cute.  I actually had two pre-cut and scored stepper card cut but didn’t want to make two so I used it to make this bi-fold card.  It used the Framed Florets stamps and dies as well. 

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Night of Navy card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Balmy Blue card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Fitting Florets designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Framed Florets stamp set and dies (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Pre-cut label (unknown Stampin’ Up)
  • Night of Navy ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Gems
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

From a piece of Night of Navy card stock, cut a card base to 5 ½ x 6 ½ and fold in half to 3 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Cut another piece to 3” x 6 ½” and fold in half to 3” x 3 ¼”.  From the Balmy Blue card stock cut a piece to 2 7/8” x 3 1/8” and another to 3 1/8” x 5 1/8”.  With a piece of white card stock cut a piece for the inside to 2 7/8” x 3 1/8”. 

Grab your Fitting Florets designer series paper pack and find the piece of Night of Navy with the Balmy Blue sprigs and pink berries.  Cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 3” and two pieces to 3” x 5 ¼” (there is a bit of a direction to this paper so you may want to pay attention).  Also find the piece that has the large floral groups on it and find the pink set and cut out with the die. 

Take the card base measuring 3 ¼” x 5 ½” and adhere one of the larger pieces of Balmy Blue to the front and then one of the larger pieces of the designer series paper.  Do the same for the inside back.  Then take your Night of Navy piece that you folded to 3” x 3 ¼” and adhere the Balmy Blue to the front and then the designer series paper piece, and adhere the white piece to the back of the inside. 

Take your small folded piece and put glue on 2” of the back and adhere to the inside of your larger piece in the center leaving 1” hanging off and 1” from the inside edge, making your card measure 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. 

Now take the pre-cut label (or any other label that works) and stamp the “Celebrate!” greeting angled on your label in Night of Navy ink and adhere with pop dots toward the upper left corner of your small front section.  Adhere the flower you die cut with po dots to the lower right corner, over the lower part of your label.  Add a few of the Strawberry Slush and Pretty In Pink Gems to decorate. 

For the inside stamp the “Wishes for a beautiful birthday” greeting in Night of Navy ink. 

There is an adorable birthday card for anyone in your life.
